Just guessing here, RP probably opens either 'netscape' (or 'mozilla' if
it doesn't find netscape). What you might try doing is, make a link named
'netscape' that points to 'firefox'. If that doesn't work, you will have
to find bin/mozilla (/usr/bin/mozilla I think), move it back into the
mozilla-1.x directory, and replace it with a link named 'mozilla' that
points to firefox. If you aren't using mozilla, you could also just remove
it. Most non-kde apps seem to be looking for netscape or mozilla these
days, and just expect to find them in the path.

ln -s /path/to/firefox /usr/bin/netscape

Hope that works
